You’ll be happy to hear that GoHighLevel acts as a hosting platform for standard websites and WordPress sites.
However, understanding these setup processes can be confusing—especially for WordPress. So, I’ve laid everything out clearly so you know exactly what you can do.
Key Takeaways:
- Purchase domain names from GoHighLevel for around $4
- WordPress hosting costs between $10-$497/month

Can You Host Websites on GoHighLevel?
You certainly can!
Since GoHighLevel introduced the ability to purchase domains directly from the platform, there’s no need to buy them from third-party providers.
Better yet, if you do buy your domain from GoHighLevel, the system will automatically authorize and add the records, making the setup process fast and simple.
Additionally, GoHighLevel has offered WordPress hosting for quite a while now.
How to Purchase Domain Names on GoHighLevel (A Quick Guide)
- Head to the relevant sub-account.
- Click Settings > Domains > Purchase a domain.
- Type in the desired domain name and click Search.
- Pick your preferred domain name from the available options and click Buy.

Can You Host WordPress Sites on GoHighLevel?
As I said, you can purchase WordPress hosting directly from GoHighLevel.
You can do this for your own sub-account, in which case you can pay the base prices outlined below.
If you want to offer it to your clients, you can customize the pricing so that you can profit from reselling it.
Previously, GoHighLevel only permitted one WordPress site per sub-account, but this recently changed. Now (if you buy the appropriate plan), you can host unlimited WordPress sites across all your sub-accounts.
How Much Does It Cost to Purchase WordPress Hosting on GoHighLevel?
There are three pricing plans available for WordPress hosting, and you can pick the one you want by heading to the Reselling tab in the Agency View of your account.
| Plan | Monthly cost | Monthly cost paid annually | Total annual cost | Number of WordPress sites |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $10 | $9 | $108 | 1 |
| Utility | $220 | $208 | $2,496 | 25 |
| Truly Unlimited | $497 | $414 | $4,968 | Unlimited |
This cost is in addition to your regular GoHighLevel subscription price.
The default plan is the Standard plan (which is only activated by purchasing it from within a sub-account). To change plans, you must click on View Plans.
What Are the Benefits of Using WordPress with GoHighLevel?
Given that over 40% of the world’s websites use WordPress, you’re likely to come across a client or two that uses it for their own site.
Therefore, providing WordPress hosting offers a streamlined way to manage their site without switching between the two platforms or juggling multiple subscriptions.
And with the reselling option, you can also increase your bottom line by adding your profit margin to the price.
It’s a nice way to earn a little extra while increasing the value of your service!
How to Resell WordPress Hosting to Clients
- Head into the Reselling tab of your Agency View.
- Click View Plans under the WordPress section and pick the one you want.
- You can now set your client price back on the reselling page. Decide how much profit you want to make and enter it in the relevant field.
- Hit Save.
From the client’s perspective, they can find the WordPress hosting option in Sites > WordPress tabs of their sub-account.
The price displayed will be the one you set (including your profit). The client can then make the purchase and start using its features.
How to Disable the WordPress Hosting Option
If you don’t want to offer WordPress hosting to your clients, you need to switch it off.
- Make sure you’re in Agency View.
- Head to Sub-Accounts.
- Find the relevant sub-account, then click the three dots and select Manage Client.
- Click the Reselling tab.
- Toggle the WordPress switch to the off position.
Now, if you jump into the sub-account, you’ll see that the WordPress tab has completely disappeared.
How to Offer WordPress Hosting in a GoHighLevel SaaS Plan
You can include WordPress hosting within any of your SaaS plans, but there’s one important thing to note.
Unlike reselling WordPress as a standalone add-on, your SaaS customers do not purchase it at an extra cost. Therefore, the price of WordPress hosting must be incorporated into the overall price of your SaaS plan.
- In Agency View, head into the SaaS Configurator.
- Choose which SaaS plan you want to add WordPress hosting to and click Edit Details.
- Click the Add-ons tab, select WordPress, and hit Save.
